Summary: "The Journal of Submarine Commander von Forstner" by Forstner is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work offers a unique perspective on submarine warfare during World War I, following the experiences of Freiherrn von Forstner, the commander of one of Germany's first U-boats.
